Started at 9.15 this morning and took my first call at 3.20.

Why i hear you ask.

Our systems went down before i came in and before long we had 8 BT vans in our carpark trying to fix the problem which was fun for me as i didn't do anything until 3 as i couldn't because i didn't get any calls through at all.

However i ain't complaining as it means i sat for 6 hours getting paid and taking no calls at all which was excellent

From a business stand point that is pretty poor. Did they divert all the calls you were supposed to take to another call centre?

In my place they will divert calls to the Birmingham call centre, or to a batch of mobile phones we have stored somewhere.

For us the extra calls would of gone to one of the other 6 centres dotted around.

So they would of been non stop until ours were fixed.

Ah rite... still gettin paid for doin nothing must have been sweet. If I were your boss however I'd have had you all doing other bits of work. I'd be a b!tch of a boss to work for at times, lol.

Only problem with that though is i wasn't trained for anything else so i wasn't allowed to by their rules.

And there wasn't really much else we could of done but sit there and watch all the others being busy

Unfortunatly due to the lack of notice you have given, you holiday request has been denied. If you can find someone else who is not rota'd to work and is willing to cover your shift then you are more than welcome to arrange cover, and I will authorise it accordingly.

Have a Nice Day

Surprisingly, notice for my work isn't too bad, i only put in my half day today on monday and got it which is cool as i'm now at home and don't have work till 2.30 monday afternoon

Ours is a b!tch.... at least 2 weeks notice. I normally give a month, and even then sometimes they get funny. Asking me to cover the shift for them. I mean what does the guy who does the rotas actually do then?
